Hello again, my reading friend. Let us begin at the beginning. Do you know what yours truly is going to discuss with you? About the first Canadian satellite, you say? Right answer. Let us continue. The launch of said satellite, Alouette, of course, late in the evening of 28 September 1962 (local time), or early in the morning of 29 September (Ottawa, Ontario, time), from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, obviously did not go unnoticed.
